Note di degustazione
The 2022 Pinot Noir Daphne comes from Pommard clone vines planted between 1974 and 1984 at 820 to 860 feet in elevation. Matured in 12% new oak, the nose is bursting with pure scents of bramble berry preserves, blood orange, oolong tea leaves and juniper. Medium-bodied, the mouth is flooded with layer after layer of ripe, perfumed fruit. The wine is structured by lacy tannins, vibrant acidity and a long, succulent finish. 178 cases were made.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Daphne sports a deeper jeweled ruby color and offers notes of pure black cherries, forest pine herbs, wildflowers, and dark stones. Coming from their highest elevation vineyard, it is pure and crystalline on the the palate, with a rounded and expansive feel, ripe tannins, and a clean finish. It’s a fantastic and complete offering and might be the wine of the vintage for Eyrie.
The 2022 Pinot Noir Daphne is a veritable flower shop on the nose, mixing peppery rose with wild strawberries and cedary spice. Lifted and racy in feel, it washes across the palate with crisp red berry fruits, taking on perfumed inner florals and a tinge of salty minerality toward the close. Hints of sour citrus mix with a tart cranberry bitterness as a bump of brilliant acidity ties everything together remarkably well, finishing fresh and full of tension. While not overtly structured or concentrated, the Daphne possesses a balance that promises many years of positive evolution.
